Waterwise and 1+ A Day
For 1+ A Day the year sixes have been opening workshops in each of our classrooms, these include Blogging, Posters, Songs/Raps and Interviews to promote it around New Zealand and the world!
We are also carrying on the good work by picking up litter at Waterwise each Friday, this helps clean up the beach so therefore making a safer environment for the marine life at Okahu bay. We also want to make it nicer for tourists and visitors trying to enjoy the beach.
The reason we started 1+ A Day was because Verran Road School did a presentation about 1+ A Day. They were inspired by a video about turtles dying because of the plastic. The  plastic things that hold the 6 pack of beer cans can get into the ocean, and turtles can swim half through the holes. Then they get stuck in the holes and the thing stays on them for the rest of their lives!  “Let's make this beach great again” Written by Room 28 Students
